Over 1-1/2 years ago in the Spring/Summer 2013 Club Orient Newsletter they mentioned this about TV's and Internet bandwidth... (if it was bad then, it's got to be getting worse now.)
Changes/Upgrades/Improvements
Where are the TV's? The short answer is, not here yet. When we announced the addition of televisions to Club Orient last fall, we had an agreement (so we thought) with St. Martin Cable to provide programming in English & French, as well as music only stations. Since that time, St. Martin Cable has changed their offering to us & we are back to the drawing board on putting a deal together. We hope we can fulfill our promise to provide televisions over the next few months.
I know some of you have expressed concern over the addition of televisions, but each of the TV’s are hotel televisions, which have a sound governor, which controls the maximum volume level possible. The explosion in the use of handheld and portable computers have made the addition of TVs an absolute necessity. We are very limited in the amount of bandwidth we can provide. So many guests are using their multiple electronic devices to download movies, Skype, sling boxes, play games etc., we simply must try to reduce the use of bandwidth hogging applications. In any event, we’ll keep you posted.

When we were there in December, we were sitting at the Perch and they wouldn't give us the access code for our Nook. They said too many people were using it and it didn't have the band width to accommodate all the users. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

I would agree. Many restaurants will give you the wifi code if you're eating there, but the Perch is a different situation. Especially considering how limited the wifi is, it makes perfect sense to me that they do not give it out to people not staying at Club O.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out from the newsletter, they said something about an FAQ, including questions about their internet, and I wasn't sure if there was some info different there than they posted in that newsletter. I guess they were talking about on their facebook page, which I don't have facebook, and when I followed what they said were the directions to get there, I couldn't find anything about the internet..
